Cake Flour is used in cake making to bake a lovely soft cake. I first time heard of cake flour when I moved to the USA. I didn’t know you could make your own. In this post, I’m going to share with you how to make cake flour. To make cake flour, all you need is just 2 ingredients that are all purpose flour and cornstarch. Once you try this, you will never ever, purchase cake flour again! This worked wonderfully in an eggless vanilla cupcake. Those cupcakes were so light and fluffy, and I genuinely feel it is due to the homemade fresh cake flour. I had no idea, but now that I know I'll never purchase it again.

Ingredients :

All Purpose Flour / Maida 1 Cup

Corn Starch 2 Tbsp

Instructions :

Remove 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour from the 1 cup of all-purpose flour.

Now, add 2 Tbsp of cornstarch back in the bowl and sift 5-6 times together before using.

Here, easy to make, cake flour is ready to use.

My Take :

Store it in an airtight container and use within 2-3 months.

The cornstarch should be thoroughly combined with the flour and the mix to be light and airy.

If you're allergic to corn, potato starch and arrowroot powder also make a good substitute.
